About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as customers were settling in for their coffee and donuts, an announcement came over the loudspeaker: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, if you see anyone trying to drive our cars out of the showroom, please do not intervene—we’re just testing them.’ Soon enough, a delivery driver tried to sneak one out, thinking it was his own truck. He drove around the block, honking like crazy, until a regular noticed him and started laughing so hard he spilled his coffee. The driver pulled up sheepishly, returned the car, and everyone had a good laugh. Norm himself popped out later, shook hands with the driver, and said, 'Welcome to the family!'

2. One day, while a salesman was demonstrating new safety features, he heard a strange humming noise coming from under the hood of the car. Curious, he looked inside—and found a tiny, bearded man adjusting the engine's belts. The little guy smiled and said, 'Just fine-tuning your Toyota's soul!' The salesman blinked, then shrugged it off as an odd but harmless encounter. Later that evening, while closing up shop, he overheard a regular customer remarking, ‘I swear my truck feels like it's running smoother today.’

3. At dawn, when most dealerships are quiet, Norm’s lot was buzzing with activity. A delivery driver noticed something peculiar: every morning, exactly at 6 AM, a shadowy figure would appear and methodically arrange the cars in alphabetical order. One morning, the delivery driver followed the mysterious figure only to discover it was an elderly neighbor who’d lost his wife years ago. Turned out she used to alphabetize their collection of antique toys—so he continued her tradition here. Now, whenever someone asks why the cars are arranged that way, they smile and say, ‘Because love never stops.’

4. At closing time, a delivery driver asked Norm: ‘Why does your lot look like it’s partying every night?’ Norm smiled mysteriously and replied, ‘Because every night I throw a little party for my cars—after all, they’re the ones that keep us rolling!’ The delivery driver shook his head with a laugh, but from then on he always parked next door and listened to the music too.
